We're dividing 987169 by 23 
Our goal is to divide 987169 by 23.

Advancing to step 1:
9 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 0.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Grab the next digit (8) from the dividend, add it to 9, then carry on: 98 / 23

Going ahead to step 2:
98 divided by 23 is 4 with a remainder of 6.
The number 4 becomes the next digit in our result. 
Result so far: 4.0
The remainder is 6 after subtracting 92 from 98.
Include the next digit (7) from the dividend after 6, then repeat: 67 / 23

Let's proceed to step 3:
23 goes into 67 2 times with a remainder of 21.
The next digit of our result is 2. 
Result so far: 42.0
Deduct 46 from 67 and we're left with 21.
Append the next digit (1) from the dividend to 21 and continue with: 211 / 23

Let's proceed to step 4:
23 can be fit into 211 9 times, resulting in a remainder of 4.
Write down 9 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 429.0
The remainder is 4 after subtracting 207 from 211.
Bring next digit (6) of the dividend behind the 4 and repeat the process: 46 / 23

On to step 5:
If we divide 46 by 23, we get 2 and a remainder of 0.
Record the quotient 2 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 4292.0
Subtract 46 from 46 to get 0.
Fetch the next digit (9) from the dividend, attach it to 0 and continue: 9 / 23

Moving on to step 6:
23 can be fit into 9 0 times, resulting in a remainder of 9.
Record the quotient 0 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42920.0
Subtracting 0 from 9 leaves us with 9.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 90, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 7:
23 can be fit into 90 3 times, resulting in a remainder of 21.
Use 3 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42920.3
Deduct 69 from 90 and we're left with 21.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 210, and continue the process.

Step 8:
When dividing 210 by 23, we get 9 with a remainder of 3.
The next digit of our result is 9. 
Result so far: 42920.39
If we take 207 away from 210, we end up with 3.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 30, and continue the process.

Moving on to step 9:
30 divided by 23 is 1 with a remainder of 7.
Record the quotient 1 as the next digit in the result. 
Result so far: 42920.391
If we take 23 away from 30, we end up with 7.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 70, and continue the process.

Advancing to step 10:
The number 23 fits into 70 3 times, leaving a remainder of 1.
Put 3 as the next digit of the answer. 
Result so far: 42920.3913
The remainder is 1 after subtracting 69 from 70.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 10, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 11:
10 divided by 23 is 0 with a remainder of 10.
Use 0 as the next digit of our solution. 
Result so far: 42920.3913
Subtract 0 from 10 to get 10.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 100, and continue the process.

Going ahead to step 12:
If we divide 100 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 8.
The next digit of our result is 4. 
Result so far: 42920.391304
If we take 92 away from 100, we end up with 8.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 80, and continue the process.

Let's proceed to step 13:
If we divide 80 by 23, we get 3 and a remainder of 11.
The next digit of our result is 3. 
Result so far: 42920.3913043
If we take 69 away from 80, we end up with 11.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 110, and continue the process.

On to step 14:
If we divide 110 by 23, we get 4 and a remainder of 18.
Write down 4 as next digit of the result. 
Result so far: 42920.39130434
The remainder is 18 after subtracting 92 from 110.
Since there are no more digits in the dividend, we add a zero to the remainder making it 180, and continue the process.

The final outcome is 42920.39130434, with a leftover of 1.8e-08.
